Chapter 89 ∠(°ゝ°) Salute!

After dealing with Lin Chengze, Yu Xunge realized that she had run out of cigarettes and alcohol at home recently, so she decided not to go home and went straight to the mall. During the trip, she took her phone out of her game backpack. She had to keep it in there because it kept vibrating and receiving messages from all sorts of people.

She opened it and glanced at it; there were even people offering to trade film and television resources for her [Martian Arts] skill book.

She regretted not choosing anonymity back then; she probably got too cocky and thought it was just an F-level skill, not worth the effort...

After thinking for a moment, she decided to take the item down and then put it back up for auction at a reasonable price. She changed the fixed price of [Mars Spell] to 19 gold, with a starting bid of 18 gold.

This F-rank skill book is basically unsellable on the auction house of Zelan Star. The listed price is probably only 2 to 5 gold. After all, it can only fire a small fireball. What's the point? Its damage is about the same as firing a single shot.

But for ordinary people, even if Mars is small, it is still magic!

Even if everyone has divinely bestowed talents, many of these talents are merely means to make people stronger, leaving them helpless without any offensive skills.

19 gold is expensive, but it's still more reliable than 50 gold for green gear. Besides, this is the cheapest skill in the auction house right now; everything else is ridiculously expensive. They'll ask for 50 gold for gear, but they'll ask for double that for skills.

Yu Xunge bought all the alcohol and cigarettes in the mall in a clearance sale. Just as he refused a passerby's request for an autograph, he received a system notification that the book on Martian techniques had been sold.

She happily accepted the money; it was so easy to make money. She decided that once she revealed this skill again, she would sell it as soon as possible. In a month or two, people would have seen the world and wouldn't be fooled anymore.

But she never thought of going to Zelan Star to buy goods and then reselling them here.

Even though the auction house allows anonymity, she can't get past her own conscience.

It's one thing for her to sell the items she created, but to buy and sell them in large quantities is, to put it bluntly, profiting from a national crisis. There's no point or need to squeeze money out of players. If she needs money, she can just go to the Su family and get it directly. She can make money and feel good about herself. How perfect!

Yu Xunge carried the cigarettes and alcohol she bought for Heppi and went to Zelan Star to continue her classes.

There are more than 3,000 commonly used materials in alchemy. Hufflepuff used to teach 10 of them in each class, covering everything from processing techniques to material properties. She would only teach them once, and if Yu Xunge couldn't remember them, she wouldn't teach them again. Fortunately, Yu Xunge had a good memory. With her memory and notes, she learned as much as Hufflepuff taught her. She would even write down any casual comments in her notebook. This attitude towards learning pleased Hufflepuff.

Although progress was slow, the more Yu Xunge learned, the further he felt from master-level alchemy. But Yu Xunge enjoyed the feeling of learning from another world.

She treated Hedgehog's classes as a form of leisure time outside of revenge and leveling up.

Yu Xunge had a rare few days of regular life, spending her mornings in class and her afternoons and evenings practicing in dungeons.

After just a few days of intensive training, she not only thoroughly mastered the knowledge she learned from her coach, but also combined it with the skills she had learned during her life-or-death escape in her previous life. Now, she can fight off 30 trolls without taking any damage, simply by moving around.

She's already prepared to clear this instance and try her luck in the instance of her downtown apartment. It's not that she's arrogant, but her stats are already quite high. Level 3 trolls are good for leveling up, but they can no longer be her personal training partner.

On the 28th, Yu Xunge received a message from Zhao Shuying that it was time to settle the skill crystal rewards.

[Zhao Shuying]: We've also purchased quite a few internally. You can choose to settle your payment in contribution points or in gold coins.

[Yu Xun Ge]: How are contribution points calculated?

[Zhao Shuying]: You get 1 contribution point for every 30 items.

It was about the same price Yu Xunge had in mind. Last time, when Zhao Shuying contributed points to her, she calculated that 1 contribution point was worth less than 100 gold, about 80 or 90 gold.

At first glance, it seems like a loss, but the contribution points also represent the eligibility to purchase, so the meaning is quite different.

[Yu Xun Ge]: What can I buy with contribution points?

[Zhao Shuying]: There are many extremely rare skill crystals that can only be purchased with contribution points.

[Yu Xun Ge]: Am I not precious enough?

[Zhao Shuying]: A 6-hour rental room is quite different from a yearly rental.

Yu Xunge understood; it seemed that some skills could last for years.

[Yu Xunge]: Can I see what items I need to purchase with contribution points?

[Zhao Shuying]: When you accumulate 100 contribution points, I will personally come to your door to promote it.

[Yu Xun Ge]: ...Okay, I'll contribute some points.

[Zhao Shuying]: Please check.

Although the cooldown time for 【Happy Again】 is only 5 hours and 4 minutes, Yu Xunge's timing is not very precise. He basically makes 4 skill crystals a day. Sometimes, if he is diligent, he can make 5 in two days. Sometimes, his schedule is unstable and he will miss them. On average, he makes 4 a day, which is 60 in half a month.

However, her character has always been one of average luck. She also needs to use her skills, so she won't hand them all over. Giving her about 45 skills every half month is about right. She will keep the rest and use them on Yu Xunhuan later, which doesn't count as a breach of contract.

Yu Xunge opened the email and saw two dragon-shaped coins, one gold and one silver, and 1.5 contribution points.

[Yu Xunge]: Does "We also bought quite a lot internally" mean that it was all bought internally by you?

[Zhao Shuying]: ∠(°ゝ°) Salute! You are our Special Affairs Bureau's most important friend.

[Yu Xun Ge]: Hehe, even when it's just polite talk, you won't even add "forever".

[Zhao Shuying]: ∠(°ゝ°) Salute forever! You are our Special Affairs Bureau's most important friend.

Yu Xunge: "………………"

She was convinced.

What impressed her even more was that Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo came to her house for dinner right after she received the share of the profits from Zhao Shuying.

They said it was a meal, but the conversation kept revolving around her work for the Special Affairs Bureau.

Yi Qiuguo, that idiot, is being used as a pawn again. Halfway through the meal, they started asking her how much she had earned, and even brought up that Martian technique book, saying that if she didn't need it herself, why didn't she keep it for her family instead of selling it?

Yu Xunge said helplessly, "I have to spend my own money to buy the materials for those potions I'm given, and I also need to buy equipment and maintain connections. All of that costs money."

"You can't be too soft on someone who's taken your money," Yi Qiuguo thought. "You can't slaughter a pig like that." After all, she thought it was enough, considering that so many bottles of medicine were something that money couldn't always buy these days. But Yu Qingshan then brought up the fact that she had made it onto the ranking list.

Yu Qingshan placed a piece of food on Yu Xunge's plate: "You've always been the one who puts your father at ease since you were little. Top 100! Out of over a billion people, my daughter is in the top 100! You really make me proud! How did you do that?"

Yu Xunge watched as the old man's mana points slowly dropped, and knew he had activated his lie detector skill again. She thought to herself, "Is this how you live your life?" She said, "Running dungeons, huh? Didn't Yu Xunhuan run dungeons with the Su family in the Su family? The Special Affairs Bureau also controls a lot of dungeons."

Every word he spoke was true, but Yu Qingshan also keenly sensed that Yu Xunge was avoiding the question. However, he did not think that Yu Xunge was lying in a roundabout way, but rather that Yu Xunge was unwilling to talk about the specific information of the dungeon.

In his past life, Yu Qingshan was able to work with Yu Xunhuan to manipulate Yu Xunge, so he wasn't an impatient person. When he realized that Yu Xunge was unwilling to talk, he stopped asking. He had to get Yu Xunge to talk for himself.

After all, getting the information about the dungeon is only the most unimportant first step. The important thing is that Yu Xunge is willing to take him, Yi Qiuguo, and Yu Xunhuan to enjoy the benefits. Yu Xunge is someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. The more Yu Qingshan wants something from Yu Xunge, the less he should rush things.
